[Updated] Why Birdbath Bakery has been closed of late



A reader shared this Friday about Birdbath Bakery over at Third Avenue and NYU:

The Birdbath Bakery at 3rd Avenue and 9th Street appears to have closed. There are no signs indicating what has happened, but the store has been locked, dark and empty each day this week.

Hmm… the location on First Avenue near East 13th Street closed last March… so…

However! There is now a sign up explaining the situation on Third Avenue… Looks like a broken door has been the culprit...



Updated 2/6

Birdbath reopened today.

    It reminds me of the Allen Ginsberg poem "Birdbath".

    I get take-out from there more than I should. The staff is great and the food is good. That door was a pain in the ass; glad they're finally replacing it.

    Yes, their stuff is really good, and everybody is very nice there. But the stuff is expensive. (realities of renting commercial space)
    I guess there's plenty of places that are expensive and sell crap, so there you go…

    i don't understand why anyone would want them to close, it's not that expensive, and the people there are so nice and the cookies are so good. that door was always basically broken, so it's a great idea to fix it.
